The last decade has seen record numbers of women diving head first into franchise ownership. Between 1995 and 2005, the percentage of female-owned franchises jumped from 8.5% to 25%, and it is still steadily increasing. Women now make up one of the single largest demographics of franchise buyers, which is something that franchisors and franchise brokers have become very aware of. They are so aware of it, in fact, that they often make it a point to create specialized lists of franchise opportunities specifically designed for female entrepreneurs. Among those women’s franchises there are many great options, but the following 8 franchises are some of the best.

The Glove Lady

If you’re looking for a business with a low initial cost and no monthly rent bill, this is the one for you. This work at home franchise has not only a very low overhead, but also one of the more recognizable and respected names in the safety equipment industry. That’s right, The Glove Lady sells not only gloves, but a wide variety of safety gear as well, and since sales are done at the client’s home or business, from the back of your company van, the convenience this business provides is unparalleled by the competition.

INTERIORS by Decorating Den

Another mobile franchise, this home based business is the world’s leading interior design franchise. They’ve been in business for the last 38 years, which has given them plenty of time to develop one of the most comprehensive training systems available, including 45 days of home study preparation and 2 weeks of classroom training. If you have an eye for design, but perhaps lack the business knack to put it fully to use, INTERIORS BY DECORATING DEN is ready and willing to get you into a work from home business for yourself.
